I want to migrate a Pixelfed account from one instance (pixelfed.social, for that matter) to a smaller one. In the account settings, there are ‘Account Aliases’. The help text says: “To move from another account to this one, first you need to create an alias.” I went to the new instance and create an alias with the old account’s username. Well, what’s next? The Help page on the topic sends me to the ‘Account Aliases’. The ‘Account Aliases’ page says: “The process of moving the account starts from the old one.” Where is the button/link that initiates the migration? |

I have the same problem. The description is extremely vague. After reading through the code for an hour now, I'm not even sure if migration between different instances is possible, or only changing the username within the same instance. |

Same problem here, didn't find a solution. Both Pixelfed instances are up-to-date. |

Same here - both instances are on latest commits of 0.11.9 and the new instance has been equipped with the account alias of the old instance. Anyway, nothing happens and despite the announcements, this wanted feature is documented really vague - there is no button to trigger it, no option to activate this feature nor any parameter you may enable it with in the .env-file, at least if using the official documentation... Any info from @dansup would be appreciated! |

@dansup@mastodon.social Any ideas? Migration from Pixelfed to MastodonIn Discussions there is an open topic, #4661, 'How.do I migrate an.account?' which is still unanswered! And it seems to me #migration from #pixelfed to #mastodon still doesn't work? What I did:
What I expected
What happened
So the question still is: How to migrate a pixelfeed account from pixelfeed.social to norden.social?Any hint or help would be appreciated! |
